Question

Use Reported Speech in the following sentence: Kate asked Nick, “What do you usually have for dinner?”

Answer 1

Kate asked Nick what he usually had for dinner.

Answer 2

Kate asked Nick what he has usually for dinner

Answer 3

To use Reported Speech in the given sentence, we need to convert the direct speech (the original statement) into indirect speech (reported speech). In reported speech, we usually change the tense of the verb and make other necessary changes to reflect the change in perspective. Here's how we can convert the given sentence into reported speech:

Direct speech: "What do you usually have for dinner?" (Kate asked Nick)

Reported speech: Kate asked Nick what he usually had for dinner.

In the reported speech version, we made the following changes:

1. Changed the verb tense: "do" changes to "did" to reflect the past tense. 2. Changed the pronoun: "you" changes to "he" to reflect the perspective of the person reporting the statement. 3. Removed the question mark and quotation marks.

So, the original question "What do you usually have for dinner?" becomes "Kate asked Nick what he usually had for dinner" in reported speech.
